Flow transitions in vacuum arc remelting

Abstract

The metallurgical structure of an ingot produced by vacuum arc remelting (VAR) depends critically on the temperature distribution within the liquid portion of the partially solidified ingot. This, in turn, depends on the fluid motion in the pool, since the dominant mechanism for transporting heat is convection. There are three primary sources of motion: buoyancy; Lorentz forces arising from the passage of current through the pool; and Lorentz forces arising from the presence of external inductors. These forces are constantly in competition with each other, and each tends to induce a quite different distribution of velocity and temperature. We examine the transition between these different flow regimes and derive dimensionless criteria which determine which regime is dominant.

These forces are constantly in competition with each other, and each tends to induce a quite different distribution of velocity and temperature. We examine the transition between these different flow regimes and derive dimensionless criteria which determine which regime is dominant. We show that modest changes in ingot current can produce radical changes in temperature distribution, and that weak, steady magnetic fields, of only ～1 Gs, can induce a powerful swirling motion which suppresses the normal flow.     

Relative importance of transformation temperatures and sulphur content on hot ductility of steels

Abstract

Low (0·3%) and high manganese (1·4%) plain C – Mn steels with varying sulphur levels have had their hot ductility determined over the temperature range 700 – 1000°C, both after 'solution treatment' at 1330°C and directly after casting. It has been established that the width, depth and position of the hot ductility curves after solution treatment is more related to the transformation behaviour than either the sulphur in solution or the sulphide volume fraction or distribution. The growth of deformation induced ferrite at the austenite boundaries seems to be mainly diffusion controlled, and the higher is the transformation temperature for the γ – α phase change, the faster is the growth. Large amounts of ferrite can then form, giving good ductility. Thus, high transformation temperatures Ae ₃ or Ar ₃ are required to produce narrow ductility troughs. It is believed that any detrimental influence of the sulphides on these 'solution treated' steels is swamped by the rapid increase in ferrite volume fraction. For the as cast state, as more sulphides are able to precipitate at the interdendritic boundaries and austenite grain boundaries than in the solution treated condition, increasing the sulphur level causes a small deterioration in ductility at the high temperature end of the trough. In the present work, only narrow troughs have been found. This is in contrast to previous work on as cast C – Mn – Nb – Al steels, which exhibited wide troughs in the ductility curves, where it was shown that higher total sulphur levels lead to considerably worse ductility and that sulphur can be as detrimental to the ductility as niobium. It is recommended that, to avoid transverse cracking during continuous casting, in addition to keeping the sulphur level low, the carbon and manganese should also be as low as possible.     

Influence of cooling and reheating on the evolution of copper rich liquid in high residual low carbon steels

Abstract

This study investigates some effects of austenite microstructure on processes leading to copper hot shortness. Low carbon steels containing 0˙55 wt-% copper were subjected to two thermal profiles in an infrared image furnace with attached confocal scanning laser microscope: hold at 1150°C for 60 s; hold at 1150°C for 60 s, quench to 400°C, reheat to 1150°C. Heat treatments were conducted in dried/deoxidised argon to image microstructures. Subsequent samples were oxidised in air. The oxide/metal interface was studied in a scanning electron microscope. Additional confocal scanning laser microscope experiments involved melting copper directly on the steel. After quench/reheat, austenite grain size decreased by a factor of ～1˙7 and grain boundaries were redistributed. Copper evolved during the first heating was no longer found at boundaries. Results from direct copper exposure reveal an apparent effect of boundary character on copper penetration rate. Possible mechanisms by which hot shortness is affected are discussed.     

Microstructural and textural evolution during large strain hot rolling (LSR) of Mg–Al (AZ31) alloy

Abstract

Grain refinement has been achieved through large strain rolling (LSR) in Mg AZ31 alloy. The evolution of microstructure and texture has been found to be dependent on the amount of reduction. After the critical amount of reduction, grain refinement proceeds through continuous dynamic recrystallisation (CDRX).     

Particle break-up during heat treatment of 3000 series aluminium alloys

Abstract

In wrought aluminium alloys, the fragmentation of coarse, iron bearing intermetallic particles by hot rolling is an important development in industrial processing. Here a model 3000 series alloy is used to show that fragmentation can occur prior to hot rolling, during the homogenisation heat treatment. Some fragmented particles display a curved morphology of break-up that results from matrix wetting of two phase (or 'duplex') interfaces in Al₆(Fe,Mn) particles partially transformed to an α-Al–(Fe,Mn)–Si phase. In contrast, samples rapidly heated to temperature in a fluidised bath show an angular break-up indicative of tensile stresses induced by thermal expansion mismatch between the intermetallic particles and aluminium matrix. Although this break-up should not be industrially significant, the transformation induced break-up by wetting may be. More generally, internal boundaries resulting from the transformation to α-Al–(Fe,Mn)–Si phase may be mechanically weak fracture initiation points during hot rolling.

Effects of homogenisation treatment on microstructure and hot ductility of aluminium alloy 6063

Abstract

Several homogenisation treatments were applied to direct chill (DC) cast ingots of aluminium alloy 6063, in order to analyse the resulting microstructures developed from these diverse conditions and their effects on the hot ductility of this alloy. Imaging was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a focused ion beam (FIB) instrument. These techniques identified variations in distribution and morphology of second phase particles (AlFeSi and Mg₂Si). FIB results for the various AlFeSi particles correctly identify their shapes in three dimensions (3D). The particles were identified by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in the SEM, and by X-ray diffraction (XRD) for bulk samples. Hot tensile testing (HTT) was conducted between 470 and 600°C to asses the hot ductility for each condition. The inferior ductility of as cast samples was due to the poor bond strength of the β AlFeSi phase at the grain boundaries. Homogenised samples, which contain α AlFeSi, exhibited improved ductility. Samples that were water quenched following homogenisation were absent of Mg₂Si precipitates, when these elements remained in solid solution. These exhibited the highest ductility.
